It looks fair, really depends what games it will be running... The only thing: Seagate Barracuda, I'd personally stay away from those drives due to personal issues with them in last couple of years (RMA'd few already due to relocated/bad sectors straight from the shop). If its an OS/shared drive then Caviar Blue would be my choice and actually is ;)

Put "seagate barracuda reallocated sectors" in Google and you will find out what I'm talking about.
I've RMA'd 4 different drives already from 10-12 series, from 500GB - 2 TB.
Maybe I was unlucky, maybe its the Seagate lately, idk and idc as far as there is different brand you can choose from.
